Default Language
Word XP wants to keep resetting its default language to French everytime I
re-open it. I have to constantly reset default to English, but it doesn't
stick!

Help with outlining - what happened to the Outline level buttons in 2003?
I'm currently using Word 2003.
In previous versions of word, there use to be buttons that would collapse
the text under various levels of headers when in Outline mode. The beauty
was that you could look at only the main level, or the main + Secondary
level, or main + secondary + tertiary, or . .. etc, depending on which
button was clicked.
This feature seems to be gone from 2003. Anyone know if I'm doing something
wrong or have missed something? Thanks for any advice.

A 'field' question
Hi, I hope you can help.
I've created a document (basically like a school report) with check boxes
and fields. The problem I have is that when I want to type into the field,
it's fine until the text goes onto a different line, then it starts to move
the text of the unfielded bits down the page.
I've saved it as a template, tried it protected and unprotected but can't
seem to get my head around it.
I hope someone out there understands what I mean and can give some advice to
a Word novicette.

How do I stop style changing
Although I'm not a new user to word, there is something basic that is
happening that I just don't understand.
I have some text in the cell of a table that is essentially clear formatting
but with typeface blue. There are several lines of it.
If I delete one of the middle lines the line below changes - in this
particular case to Heading 3. (This is just one example - deleting a CR
would also have the same effect.)
However much I 'para format' the whole column the problem still occurs.

Page Numbering & Section Break
Hi,
I have a title page in the first section, a table of contents in the second
section, and the main body of my report in the third section.
In my header, I have Page 8 of 16. The number "8" is correct, because I
instructed Word to start over at the new section. But the 16 is 2 too high.
It is including the Title and Table of Contents. If I look at the field
codes, I have this in my header:
Page { PAGE } of { NUMPAGES }
How do I get NUMPAGES to only provide the count in the current section?

How do I get rid of ads for "marketplace" merchandise in help
When I click on help I just want help. I'm not interested in being bombarded
with ads and 'featured links.' Aside from being annoying, these strike me as
a major security risk. How can I restrict help to looking for help and not
the rest of this extraneous content?
If the convenience of the user is what's at stake here, this 'feature'
should be disabled by default. At the very least instructions on how to
disable it should be prominent and visible. If on the other hand the idea is
to steer users into yet another online shopping site...
More generally, Microsoft has a tendency to come up with all kinds of new
features that may be exactly what somebody is looking for but are an
annoyance to at least as many other users, and then make it all but
impossible for the user to figure out how to get rid of the feature he never
asked for and doesn't particularly want. I really wish they'd knock it off. Tag: How to make tailored form in Microsoft Word 2003 Tag: 77701

Text editing problem..
Guys - I have got myself a list of files from a folder on xp opened in word
(it's a list of all files within my music singles folder so I can print them
off and put them with my mp3 player). However this list contains the date,
time and file size etc. (standard file view in xp) and I'm trying to delete
it to just leave track name part of the line. Is there an easy way I can just
delete the first 60 or so characters on each line of text without having to
do line by line - obviously if I try to delete a block by moving the mouse
downwards, it grabs everything right to the end of the line and highlights
that for deletion to. In other words I highlight the bits i don't want, move
the mouse downwards to the next line and the rest of the line I wanted to
keep is highlighted........a very complicated explanation of a very simple
thing methinks!!

AutoText
Certainly not a new user but don't know where to post this one (Please tell
me where may be better).
Some time ago we prepared a Word 2000 template using a table and Autotext.
Sentences (from a different document) were added to autotext (some were 700+
characters) and each given a code. Typing the code successfully inserted
the text into the table (of the template and 'new' documents). This
template still works OK on Word 97, 2000, XP.
We are now trying to set up new templates on the same basis. However, we
cannot enter more than 255 characters (on any version) into autotext. What
has gone wrong/are we doing differently. Please help before I lose all my
hair!!!
If the original was a 'quirk', any other ideas for automatically entering
text using a code?
Many thanks
